It was the night their father had returned home. Peter had been waiting patiently to get his engine fixed. And right when they get to it, there's a knock on the front door. Two gentlemen arrive, and take their father away.
Soon enough, the three siblings-- Roberta, Peter, and young Phyllis-- leave the house along with their mother and move to live in the country in a cottage near the railway station.
They did not guess then how they would grow to love the railway, and how soon it would become the centre of their new life, nor what wonders and changes it would bring to them . . . Join Roberta, Peter, and Phyllis as they wave to the 9.15 train, which they call the Green Dragon, hoping that it would take their love to their father. One of the best-loved classics for children, E. Nesbit's The Railway Children has been delighting generations of readers. It has been adapted for films and television series. Warm and enchanting, the novel continues to remain a bestseller. "

E. Nesbit

Edith Nesbit was born in 1858. Her father died when she was only three and so her family moved all over England. Poverty was something she had known first hand, both as a child and as a young married woman with small children. Like the Railway Childrens' Mother, she was forced to try and sell her stories and poems to editors.

Her first children's book, The Treasure Seekers, was published in 1899. She also wrote Five Children and It but her most famous story is The Railway Children which was first published in 1905 and it hasn't been out of print since.

Edith Nesbit was a lady ahead of her time - she cut her hair short, which was considered a very bold move in Victorian times, and she was a founding member of a group that worked towards improvements in politics and society called The Fabian Society. She died in 1924.
